With In Good Company, tenor Lee Lessack gets a little help from his friends. All 17 tracks are duets, with well-known voices such as Maureen McGovern ("If You Go Away") and Michael Feinstein ("May I Suggest"). He also invites some singer-composers to duet on their own songs, such as Ann Hampton Callaway (on her own "Bring Back Romance"), Amanda McBroom ("The Rose"), Susan Werner ("Blue Guitar"), Stephen Schwartz (Wicked's "For Good"), and Johnny Rodgers ("Here's to You"), who also coproduced with Lessack and directs the band from the piano. And of course frequent collaborator Joanne O'Brien makes a welcome appearance on "Summer Wine." The overall mood is quite mellow, but also incorporates songs that wouldn't normally be associated with cabaret, such as Journey's "Open Arms" (with Brian Lane Green) and Shawn Colvin's "Never Saw Blue Like That" (with Mary Jo Mundy). --David Horiuchi
